Ingredients
whole milk (full-fat)
500 ml
granulated sugar
100 g
ghee
30 g
ground cardamom
1 tsp
pistachio (chopped)
10 g
Instructions
Reduce the milk
Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Add sugar and ghee
When the milk has reduced to about one-third, add the sugar and ghee. Continue cooking on low-medium heat, stirring continuously.
Add cardamom and finish
Stir in the ground cardamom. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency and starts to leave the sides completely.
Shape the pedas
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Grease your hands with a little ghee and shape into small round pedas. Garnish with chopped pistachios.
Storage
Store in an airtight container. Bring to room temperature before serving if refrigerated.
